Why can hunters neglect their animals? I called about these dogs being left out in the hurricane and the lady that came by said there wasn’t anything wrong being done. The storm is only going to get worse and they are just going to let them suffer. Alec HalaifonuaMakawao
On behalf of the Waiohuli Makai Homelands Advocacy Group, I thank a Honolulu philanthropist for an Aug. 2 contribution of $3,000. The donor, a prominent isle developer, designated the sum toward a scholarship in order for a University of Hawaiʻi senior or master’s-degree candidate in architecture, community planning or engineering to create a Waiohuli Makai site plan. Waiohuli Makai is the project name of a proposed 1,200-lot Hawaiian Homes development on 4,780 acres in Upcountry Maui. Ten years ago, Maui Hawaiian homestead leaders had proposed this vision for a Waiohuli Makai ...
In 1984, I arrived in Maui. I was startled to notice that members of various Hongwanjis seemed long-lived and retained faces and auras, respectively, vital and bright.

I don't know many particulars of this form of Buddhism, but the people have ...

Americans are encouraged to recycle, drive less, and reduce their carbon footprints, yet taxpayer dollars continue to prop up industries that undermine those same climate ...
In response to Jeffrey Dennison’s Aug. 2 letter, “Disheartened with paid beach parking spreading,” I appreciate his concern about preserving access to Maui’s beaches. We all share that goal. One important fact deserves emphasis: Park Maui is free for kamaʻāina, all day, every day. Hawaiʻi residents with a valid Hawaiʻi driver’s license park free at participating Park Maui beach locations. Residents who prefer not to use the app can simply scan their license at a kiosk—no personal information is retained from kiosk transactions. Park Maui is about managing a limited ...
Froma Harrop is a wolf in FOX's clothing. She showed why in an “Opinion” op-ed that appeared in The Maui News lead editorial spot July 15-26. At this time in the degradation of one of the noblest democratic experiments in the history of the world, do you want to vaunt her Evil Leader direct adulation? With appreciation though for what you do to inform us of much else. Judy EagleWailuku
